Hi Kirk I snipped your post and mixed in a couple of comments.

I've been around since the early days when I thought we could count the machines on two hands. Had to be two because Dan was running five machines at the same time. Permit me three brief stories. I had planned a trip to Europe so asked on the list hosted by NIST if I could visit a few "users." I got offers from England to Russia and from Finland to Italy. We visited three and were impressed with the creativity. There may still be a copy of the email report around the archives someplace. On another post I was attempting to expound on the subject of EMC use and used the Czech Republic at a possible place where folk might be using it. My problem was that I misspelled the name. A fellow from there posted correcting my spelling and said he was using EMC on several old broken down Soviet mills. A third story arrived in an email years ago from a fellow in Italy who wrote no English and knew nobody to help him. There was only one sentence roughly "scusilo che non parlo inglese." He sent a bunch of pictures of his router making wild looking rock guitars. He was doing all the work with EMC and showed several pictures of tkemc and the backplotter along with the parts. So the easy answer is we could work up some sort of survey but most of our users, once they get the kinks/configurations worked out for their machines are never heard from again.
